looks like I'm in as well for sure.

Would be nice to see a few other faces up there. I know a couple others not on the board that are planning on going. I think we're going to try and fly up and back on the same flight and will finalize times at Fridays match. Right now there are a couple flights that will get us in around 2:30-4:30 pm, I don't think we should be any later.
Independent Air (www.flyi.com) has round trip ticket after discounts for around $200 with taxes from Charleston to Chicago.

I'll be willing to split a car if it looks like its cheaper than cabs. Hotels to be decided.

It would be nice to take a couple flags and I might whip up a banner of some sort.

If anyone else want to go shoot me a PM and Ill make sure you get the info.

Where are you getting Chrono won't be here?

the indoor league he signed with doesn't start for another couple months and shouldn't conflict with the Battery schedule at all.

If anyone is interested in catching the same flight to Chicago as me, I will bring the choices tonight to the match and we can talk about it then.

Looking foward to the trip!

one of the fire fans on the other soccer boards post some good info for us traveling up

here it is
Quote:
Coming into O'hare use the driving instructions from "The North:". The only change I would make is to instead of following Ogden 4 lights west to Loomis, go 5 lights west to Washington. Washington is the main N-S street in Naperville and it will take you directly to the downtown area. I-294 is the loop road around Chicago and is accessable directly from the exit roads from O'hare.

The intersection of Washington & Chicago Avenue is the heart of downtown Naperville.

On the parking map both H & I are (free) municipal parking garages. Parking is also available on the residential streets near the stadium.

Pubs: south of Chicago east of Washington is a strip mall with a place called Bar Louie. West of Washington on Chicago is The Lantern (SW corner), next to it is Features (where the BarnBurners congregated), across the street is Jimmy's (with a big outdoor patio) (where the Ultra's hung out), a block north and a block east on Jefferson is Quigley's (an Irish themed pub). There are also within the area bounded by Chicago, Jefferson, Main, and Washington probably 20 or so other restaurants/pubs catering to virtually any taste you might have.

Looks like there will be about 12-15 which should make for a grand time.

I'll be arriving on Wednesday alittle before noon and will be probbaly hitting Naperville around 4ish to start with a prematch brew (or two) and something to eat. my cell is 803.431.1736. I have the nubers for a couple of the others that are heading up earlier so we should be able to meet up beofre the match. Im all for trying out "The Lantern" unles you want to crash the Barnburnes pub.
